FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out morphological examination of viscera and additional morphometric microscopic examination of suprarenal glands with semi-quantitative 4-level score analysis for determining adrenalocyte cytoplasma volume in medullary substance of the left suprarenal gland, semi-quantitative 4-level score analysis for determining the left suprarenal gland zona fasciculata degree of filling with blood. Probability of assigning a case to death group caused by general organism cooling is calculated from a formula P1=[exp(5.02xA-3.98xB-2.91xC)]/[1+exp(5.02xA-3.98xB-2.91xC)]*100%; P2=100%-P1, where A is the adrenalocyte cytoplasma volume in medullary substance of the left suprarenal gland, B is the zona fasciculata blood saturation degree in the left suprarenal gland and C is the left suprarenal gland blood vessel degree of filling with blood. P1>P2 being the case, death caused by general organism cooling is to be diagnosed.
EFFECT: high accuracy of prediction.
